Story
Thanks for visiting my Just Giving page!
After many years of applications I have been super lucky to get a place in the 40th London Marathon.
I’ve not only received a place, but I have been given the chance to raise some fantastic monies for such a wonderful charity, CLIC Sargent.
Recently I found a lump beside my left breast and although I was given a positive result after getting it checked out, during that time of waiting I imagined both the best case scenario and the worst. I also thought about those millions of people who don’t get such a positive result, who have to face a cancer diagnosis and go through both a physical and mental battle receiving treatment to try and help.
In 2016, we lost our Gran to cervical cancer after a year long battle at the age of 89. I have people around me going through or watching their loved ones go through treatment at this very moment. Cancer knows no boundaries; it doesn't matter if you are an adult or a child.
CLIC Sargent fights tirelessly to stop cancer destroying young lives. From the moment of diagnosis, they are there and ready to help families cope. Their care teams provide day-to-day support for each child, young person and family, from information and guidance to clinical care and specialist play during treatment. For more information on the many other ways they help, please visit https://www.clicsargent.org.uk/what-we-do/the-six-ways-we-help/
Please help me support CLIC Sargent to carry out their life changing work by sponsoring me in running the London Marathon!
Any donation, big or small will be gratefully appreciated 💚
Thanks in advance,
